The author plans to visit Africa this year to guide the production of Netflix’sOne Piecelive-action. Oda’s previous trip to the country was ruined because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Apart from that, the promotion for theOne Piece Redfilm is starting with the series' 25th anniversary. And with so many exciting this happening at once, Oda decided to take a month-long break to take a breather.

One Piecewill be absent from Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #30 to Issue #33, and the series will continue with Issue #34, which will come out on July 25th. However, the community will get twoOne Piecechapters back-to-back this month without any breaks.

Of course, several fans fear thatOne Piecewill end soon as the manga is in its Final Saga, but that might not be the case. The Four Emperors Saga, which includes the Wano country arc, ran for around seven years. Well, it’s safe to say that the Final Saga would run for several years as well, so we might not have to say our goodbyes toOne Pieceanytime soon.
